Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the second-most common cancer in men.

It’s also the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men, following lung cancer. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located in front of your rectum and underneath your bladder.

Prostate cancer is common in men older than 65. It usually grows slowly and can take years to grow large enough to cause any problems. As with other cancers, treatment for prostate cancer works best when the cancer is found early. Often, prostate cancer that has spread responds to treatment.
